#9514: Re: Compiling the CVS

by Quin on 11/15/2007 02:04, refers to #9510

You want the the stable (1.0-rc2) build that is *bundled with mingw*, which is what I use to generate the project.

You do not want the standalone version unless you already have mingw installed, in which case you need to point CB toward it (consult their docs/support for that then).

The reason for choosing the stable version was both that it was, in fact, stable, and has bundled versions which stop these kind of questions (it makes it easy for anyone), because it "just works".

You're right, actually. The only reason I use the nightly builds is that the 1.0-rc2 build was released about a year ago! I like stuff that's up-to-date!

Not entirely sure - I think Aard, Eirhul or Quin might be able to answer your question. I just make pretty things with it :)

Uses OGL, renders polys, models. Pretty simple. Then the rendered objects are moved through renderspace and re-rendered at however fast your computer can do so, movement dependent on input. Just like almost every other FPS.

anyone want to try porting the cube 1 to android? It could be an interesting experiment.

I cant think of any reasons why it wouldnt work, but then again i could be wrong.

#9520: Elevator md2

by slider on 11/16/2007 14:29

Hi Peeps Im nearly terrified to post on this forum at times but please let me tell you in advance I have googled and used the search function for a response to this without avail. I will admit this much I am a noob and I\'m not ashamed of the fact we have to start somewhere right ? Anyways I have been very inspired with the CVS version of sauerbraten and the new toys i.e elevators barrels etc so I downloaded an open source md2 model of an elevator lift and added it to a customer singleplayer map. My problem is however that although it appears to be more than big enough and hollow, that I cant seem to get inside. I can clamber on top of it but just not inside it. I am using the open source software misfit with md2 and md3 support for model creation and editing. Anyone any ideas do I have to convert the md2 some how ? I have really no clue...I\'m gonna get flamed arent I

The way that model collision works is that a model is given a single chunk of space which the player an no longer run through. A hollow elevator model will be treated a lot like a big crate, because the collision is so simple. What you need to do is define it so that only the floor of the elevator has a bounding box.

I see how is this done ? through the 3d application ? *blushes*

Nope. It's in the manual, specifically here: http://sauerbraten.org/docs/editref.html#mapmodel
The mapmodel command goes in the model CFG.

Be aware, though, that (like tentus said), the collision box is a simple rectangular prism. If you define it to be around the floor of the elevator, people can pass through the walls and ceiling of the elevator.

I think the best thing to do is a simple cubic model. (I used the pallet model for the elevator in my demo map for the new ents, which you can find on Quadropolis.)

Thanks guys appreciate the effort on this. I have tried the demo incidentally which inspired me to go looking for map models to experiment with but I'll stick with the pallet for the moment.

much love

It'd be possible to fake hollow object by building each side as a separate model- a floor, three walls, and a ceiling moving in sync would do just fine. But making it seamless could be kinda hairy, so a simple platform is probably best for now. Handrails are for wimps :)

yeah, plus the fact that all these new ents are pushable ... so if you haven't blocked the path of your platform/elevator off with geometry anything from players to other moveable ents could dislodge it.
So a combo of models moving in synch ... ;-)

Look here for a performance guide:
http://www.sauerbraten.org/docs/static_wiki/Performance%20Guide.html

Explained is how to turn off antialiasing, with the command line option -a0

or try the non-static version

(in case it get's an overhaul)

Translation:

"I tried setting the game resolution to 640x480, but the game still runs slow. How could I disable both anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering? I recently got a computer with 2GB RAM, an nVidia GeForce 6 series GPU, and an AMD Athlon 64 X2."

"Core Duo" is an intel trademark, not another way to say Dual Core. Jeez.

Bluh, the things tiredness drives on to.
